Frankie 8,562 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 It's a very funny parody account of Spiers. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing the number of Bears who don't realise that account, plus Kerrydale Meltdown, are parody accounts. Kerrydale yesterday was utterly brilliant... some Tim posts "there is a conspiracy. Both us and Hibs are losing players for derby games - wonder why that is... what do we have in common".... in response to the news they will likely lose Rogic for the 29th. Was comedy gold.... Ummmmmmm, you both have Australians in your squads and nobody else in Scotland has Australian internationalists 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,744 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 That child abuse stuff aside for the moment, IMHO it is libel to say something like "cheating your way to trophies". Generally, the pool of media folk in Scotland is rather limited, not least when it comes to sports journalists. Since there hardly has been any great influx over the past decade or so, there is no wonder that those in the seats - quite a few clearly biased or opinion-drivers - go on and on with their half-truths, half-facts and misinformation without anyone challenging them. Same goes for nigh all TV broadcasters, who either have Rangers haters or former Yahoos commentating on all things. You expect the worst and are usually not disappointed. Said it before, we would do well do get someone like Donald Findlay QC chasing all these people from pillar to post, and experience tells me that if you pick out one of them first and start with him, the rest will be far less volatile with their bile in the future. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I tend to just laugh whenever our enemies mention Sevco, EBTs, new club etc. They want to see us riled. Don't give them what they want. Alex's friends tell you all you need to know about him. He's a poisonous puppet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been ample opportunities to make an example of someone but you need to do it on the basis of a personal comment, not when they can hide behind the pockets of the BBC, etc to cover their legal costs. Most of them would defecate on the spot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,724 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Lifted from FF So, here is a reply from Channel 4. Apparently he didn't say anything of the sort.Dear Mr Devilman, Thank you for your reply. We are sorry to read of your concerns regarding Alex Thomson. We would advise that at no point did Alex Thomson infer that cheating was worse than paedophilia ? this clarification was only made after erroneous assumptions were posted by some on Twitter. We hope this clarifies the situation, however please be assured that your concerns have been logged for the information of Channel 4 News. Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate all feedback from our viewers; complimentary or otherwise. Regards, Siobhan Dickson Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
